March TV/Movie Update

[asphaltcowgrrl]

I almost forgot to do this. Should have done it yesterday but didn’t want to overload you all with posts.

TV:

Finished season 3 of The Affair

Secrets and Lies – season 1. Love this show, hate that it only got 2 seasons!

Behind Her Eyes – what a trippy ass show. I need to read the book now.

Goliath – season 1. Really liked this. Thank you K for suggesting it.

Star Trek Discovery – season 3. Now, I’m hoping for season 4.

Castlevania – season 1 (don’t judge me). Anime based off the video games (or so I assume). Not bad for a 4 episode season.


Movies:

Solo: A Star Wars Story. Interesting look at how Han became who he was.

Sicario: Day of the Solodado. Brutal, but a good movie.

Man of Steel. I’m… just going to sit here and eat my pistachios.

Batman vs. Superman. I’d never seen this but it wasn’t too bad. I was a touch confused at times though.

Suicide Squad. This wasn’t half as bad as everyone made it out to be honestly.

Bless Me, Ultima. I watched this because it was on Manuel Garcia-Rulfo’s IMDB page. (Same with Sicario lol) Turned out to be a really good, if a bit odd of a movie.


What’s up next:

I started season 3 of Killing Eve yesterday so I’m going to finish that. After, I’m not sure what’s up next. In case you didn’t notice above, I’ve started working my way through the DC movies. I think Justice League is next, and I’ve never seen that, so I’m hoping it’s good. Have some catching up to do with 911, Lonestar, and Prodigal Son, so I ought to get through those soon.

Serious question though. I started watching The Godfather because, shockingly, I’d never seen it. I got thirty minutes into it and had to shut it off. I was bored to freaking tears. I know this is supposed to be a classic, quotable movie, but…? Have any of you seen it and did you love it? Should I give it another try?

As always, I’m highly suggestible, so recs are welcome!

I probably recced The Godfather to you at some point, so yes, I'm a fan. 30 minutes in you've barely gotten past the wedding, and most of that is a set up. Might want to give it another half-hour, if you're not bought in by the time Michael goes to Italy (it's a book and a nearly 50 year old movie, I'm not going to say 'spoiler alert') then stop.

If you can jump on SyFy and they still have the Resident Alien season 1 episodes available, I highly recommend those.

It's been rec'd many times over the years so don't feel bad. Hah, don't remind me how old the movie is — it's only 2 years older than I am. LOL! But I'll give it another shot.

Ah! I didn't realize Alan Tudyk was in that! Right on my list. :D
